Hats off to Rag & Bone for this 70s inspired fedora! There’s nothing more glam than this matched with a fur vest with some flared jeans or even a cape and a mini skirt. It even works for bad hair days when you’re doing your best Celie impersonation and can’t keep it together. The burnt-orange color is tres Fall. Yes, I dabble in a little french! :p

HM recently released photos of the Versace for HM line and we’re pretty excited. The line has Versace’s strong, opulent (cause is there really any other word for Versace clothing) styling, but in a more digestible, consumer friendly, way (cause few people can wear crotchless leopard print cigarette pants).

The line premiers in stores and online (but not in the US.. come on HM!) on November 17th.

The seasons may have officially changed but the weather is on the fence. For every beautiful moment of warmth, mini skirts and ice cold drinks there are hours of cold fronts, chunky knits and hot tea. So how's a girl to cope? Layers, layers, layers.

Capes are everywhere this season whether it’s in hit series such as Gossip Girl, or on the streets of any given metropole, this trend is becoming ever so popular. I previously reported on the trend here. With a throwback 60’s feel, there’s something absolutely enchanting about this coat: Fun and eccentric, fairytale and princess-like, the cape embodies an element of a young spirit and individuality

Have you checked out HM’s new online website? If not, you might want to head on over as the non-ecommerce enabled site (they taunt us) is featuring a collection of knit dresses for under $15. HM, which has always been a bit higher on the fashion totem pole, than say, our beloved Forever21, now has a collection of work ready knit dresses for well under $20 (and a solid collection of dresses in the $30-$40 range).

Now, if only they could get the US e-commerce site working (come on.. hire the people who did Zara’s site). lol

-What I Do…

Shopping for something as simple as a classic t-shirt can be overwhelming and frustrating. Whether you are at American Apparel or Barneys, the options are endless and it’s as easy to make a fashion mistake at a high-end boutique as it is at a chain store.
As a personal stylist I work with you to:
• Demystify fashion by translating runway looks to real life.
• Find clothing that flatters your shape.
• Discover the secrets of a seasonless wardrobe.
• Mix high and low, vintage and rare finds for one-of-a-kind style.
• Revive your signature staples by combining them with new pieces.
• Find accessories to give every outfit that extra shot of polish.
Forget passé fashion dictates, like “no white shoes after labor day,” and create easy style rules, while leaving plenty of room for personality! After working with me, I guarantee you will feel inspired, informed and empowered! -thru.hazels.eyes
